Hello. I have used Staysure for my European holidays and they are very good, but I know you will pay a hefty premium for cruises because of the cost of repatriation. Have you tried any of the comparison sites?

Please be honest with your answers as if you try to hide anything and you need help, it may go horribly wrong!

Hi I have tried the websites and they refer me to call. Called a couple and they have refused to insure me, no reason govern when asked, very frustrating.

We have an annual couples policy with Staysure covering Europe. We recently added cruise cover and it wasn't that much, under £30.

Stay sure would not insure me sadly

[Vrouse in reply to L40lbb]

Oh that's a shame. Hope you find a company that won't sting you on price x

[Vrouse in reply to L40lbb]

I'm surprised they won't insure you, between me and my partner we have a multitude of health issues. I had a stroke 2 years ago, my partner has a replacement heart valve, internal defibrillator, diabetes, sleep apnoea and high BP.

My daughter recently could not get cover because of waiting for a hospital appointment, however she got good cover with a firm called Tailor Made.Worth a try

Try the Post Office Insurance, I got a fantastic quote for my 8 health issues including AF and Osteopaenia.

I think I got a quote from Staysure. Allclear also quoted me but was very expensive. I wasn't after cruise insurance this time but have had it before. Cruise adds more cost, I suppose in case you need to be airlifted off for a cardioversion? Look out for the excesses too, some of them are eyewatering!

Do a Viking cruise and take out their insurance that comes with it.

We're looking at Staysure and Avanti.

[L40lbb in reply to Ginny_Ickle]

They won’t insure me and gave no reason why.

[Ginny_Ickle in reply to L40lbb]

Argh. Hope we have better luck. Leisure Guard might be worth a try; Money Saving Expert lists them among options for folks 65+, anyway. Usually a good sign.

[L40lbb in reply to Ginny_Ickle]

I hope you do too, thank you I will try them. 😀

I am surprised Staysure won't cover you.Ring them .They won't cover me but I am awaiting a Cardioversion so they won't this time round.
